History
The first documented evidence of Hötensleben goes back to 983 AD, when the abbey as a part of the city under the name Holeinaslofu or Hokinasluvu was mentioned. The history goes back to the 16th century, but the handwritten documents of the time may not be called reliable.
On 10 January 1016, there is clear documentary evidence of the town. Throughout history, the lords of the town and castle were often changed under ecclesiastical and secular rulers of the day.
On 1 January 2005, it absorbed the former municipality Ohrsleben,[3] followed by the former municipalities Barneberg and Wackersleben in January 2010.[4]
Politics
Stephan Löffler was elected mayor in April 2022.[1]
